Leslie Patt is a licensed male therapist practicing in California with 25 years of professional experience. He holds CA LMFT 17513, a California license as a marriage and family therapist, and is only permitted to provide therapy to clients who are located in California at the time of the session.

He has extensive experience assisting clients and couples with relationship issues, family conflicts, child abuse concerns, and parenting challenges. His work history includes positions with the Department of Mental Health, Child Protective Services, and an adult psychiatric unit, and he has worked with families, teens, and children.

Leslie also has direct caregiving experience: he provided 24/7 care for his mother during the final four years of her life and cared for a couple in their 90s through their last four years, collaborating with hospice teams at the end of life. He approaches people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he customizes conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs.

When faith matters to a client, Leslie addresses it appropriately; if a client is not religious, he does not introduce religion into therapy. He acknowledges that starting therapy can require courage and affirms clients for taking that first step.
